Prologue: Detection
I was sitting at my desk when it occurred, the unknown anomaly overwhelming the sensors watching beyond the world of Remnant. It was so powerful, it actually managed to get picked up by my men on the ground in two other realms.
"Ozpin, the hell was that?" Torrez began, wondering what had nearly fried his communication equipment.
"A very powerful anomaly, in the Equemun realm. How soon can you be back here?" I asked him.
"Within the hour, sir!" he responded. I discontinued communications, awaiting his return. Glynda finally appeared, worried about what had been picked up and destroyed the sensors. I told her what had been detected, and she worried even more for the young Faunus and what I was possibly sending him into. I reassured her that I wouldn't send him into the depths of hell once again. I thought about all the unknown readings we'd been picking up from that realm in particular, minor readings that would just barely get read by the sensors. These would match those created by Shendaru and Torrez as they left and arrived in new realms. This however had been a sudden blast, not a gentle ripple. This had enough power to be felt realms away, especially here at Beacon.
"I only hope that they have pure intentions for their power, for Torrez will end them if they don't," I said as I walked with Glynda to the landing pad. Awaiting us was Shendaru Vertaxian, who had returned wanting to know what the hell was the anomaly he detected. I said nothing as we arrived at the landing pad that we expected Torrez to land at and waited for his return.
One hour later:
"Torrez is never this late Ozpin, I'm getting worried," Glynda started. I had been recalled for a special reason according to Ozpin, yet he wouldn't tell me until Torrez returned. Ozpin sighed loudly, his annoyance clear. I decided it was best to inspect my battleship rigging when the red light flickered into life.
"Shendaru, he's about to arrive. Be ready to take down whatever comes through after him!" Ozpin demanded without missing a beat. Torrez came tumbling through, unloading Shield Breaker's clip into whatever was chasing him. I knew immediately what kind of mission he was returning from, a search and destroy mission. This mission really killed him in particular, as he would have to end someone's life if they refused to come peacefully. Nothing made it through before the rift was sealed thankfully, a relief in itself that I wouldn't need to fire indoors.
"I hate when I have to take a life, get a bad rep no matter where one goes!" he shouted, his injuries now clear. Glynda treated his injuries, scolding him like any mother would for not taking better care of himself. Ozpin was the proud father in this instance, congratulating Torrez for a job well done. I was jealous of him honestly, having such a relationship with our guardians. But I knew he was still jealous of my skill and my rigging. Granted, I taught him how to use a bow and arrow just like the carrier daughters back home, and he loved it. But it was my rigging he wanted to get a hold of. Ozpin snapped me back as he lead the both of us to his office to be told about what came.
Ozpin's office:
"Torrez, I've picked you for this mission for the sole reason that your skills will determine if this is a threat to our world or not," Ozpin told me as I reviewed the data collected about the anomaly detected some time ago. This blast seemed to have been powerful, having required six people to execute it properly. This had occurred without much in the way of warning, only two rifts signatures had been detected in the realm where this had occurred. Shendaru was worried for me, preparing enough of his special arrows to create eight squadrons of fighter aircraft, four dive bomber squadrons, a torpedo squadron and two scout plane squadrons. Glynda readied two hundred of the special eight round dust clips I used for Shield Breaker. Ozpin packed my favorite tea leaves and placed them within my musette bag along with some gold coins for currency in that foreign world. I prepared my Omni-directional Maneuver gear and loaded the dust blades into their positions, smiling when the maglock clicked on for the box sheaths.
"I'm ready by the looks of it," I said after one final check of everything and getting handed my souvenir Darkmoon bow from the Lothric Realm. Shendaru nodded and created the needed portal for me to get to this world. It looked peaceful enough, a school with a crystalline appearance on some of the exterior. I took a deep breath, whispered that I hated this means of transportation, and walked into a new world.
